What Is the Best Way to Seal a Leaking Pipe Temporarily?
Shut off the nearest valve or the main water supply first. For a small leak, dry the pipe and wrap self-fusing silicone tape or press on epoxy putty as a temporary seal. For bigger leaks, place a rubber pad over the area and tighten a pipe repair clamp. Do not overtighten on old or brittle pipe. These are temporary fixes until a plumber arrives. Fix-it 24/7 provides 24/7 emergency leak repair in Charleston and Summerville.
- Quick steps: Shut off water, open a faucet to drain pressure, dry pipe, apply tape/putty or clamp, call a pro.
